Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show in Panama City Beach, Florida, is set to debut a new holiday production on November 6, 2025. The Christmas-themed show will run through January 3, 2026, and features Captain Blackbeard and his crew as they search for lost Christmas gifts.
The performance combines a pirate adventure with holiday elements and includes audience participation. The story follows a mysterious traveler in red who arrives in Buccaneer Bay only to discover that his satchel of gifts has gone missing on Christmas Eve. Captain Blackbeard and first mate Calico Jack join the quest to recover the missing treasure before midnight to save Christmas. Audience members are invited to help the Crimson and Emerald pirate crews during the search.
Dolly Parton commented on the new show: “I’ve always said I love mixing my pirates’ ‘Yo Ho’ with a little holiday ‘Ho Ho Ho!’ Bringing Pirates Voyage to Panama City Beach was another dream come true, and now we’re decking the decks for my favorite time of year. This new holiday show is full of laughs, adventure and just the right touch of Christmas magic. So come enjoy great food and fun and start a brand-new tradition with us—it’s a Holly Dolly, Jolly Roger Christmas like no other!”
The show also features acrobatics by the Crimson and Emerald crews above Buccaneer Bay, along with comedic performances from a castaway character and her sea lion companion. Before the main event begins, guests can participate in activities such as being transformed into mermaids or pirates at Pirates Village.
A four-course meal is included with each ticket. The menu starts with creamy vegetable soup and a biscuit, followed by roasted chicken, pulled pork, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, dessert options including apple pie or chocolate coconut cake, and unlimited beverages. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free meals are available upon request.
